"I don't know," they both said at the same time. "They can do whatever they want."

Added Burke with a laugh, "I kissed [Levy's] nose. Is that good enough?"

Meanwhile, Hough told PEOPLE that he normally agrees that passion should be implied in dance – rather than actually acted out – he has no regrets about Monday's routine, which landed the couple a second-place spot with a solid score of 27 points.

"There was a place in the music where there was such a big build, we thought we needed to do something fun," he says. "And since we didn't [actually kiss] during the rumba, we thought, 'Why don't we actually do it [for our salsa]?' "

Calling the dance "sexy," Hough goes on to say, "Tonight it was fun. Tonight it called for it."
